Birthday 2007

This year, I had the exact birthday I wanted. I went away and did something different. I went to tulip farm. The "Turkish Theme" Weekend happens to fall on the exact day of m b'day so we went up to Mt Dandenongs region.

I also had so many lovely presents from so many people who put soooo much thoughts into the gifts. And Ching Ee even cooked Chicken kapitan and lady's fingers (yum yum!) for dinner one day and brought it over to my place. I feel soooo loved.

Enjoy the pictures with me of the moments I spent and the pressies I received.

The 1st cake I received, from Rich at 12 midnight - lemon tart!


1st pressie I received - from Rich

I got my bag (cindy's present to me for my b'day this yr, wallet and all stolen in July/August, since then, I've been looking for a wallet that is me, and this is sooo me!


At the tulip farm, I received this nicely wrapped present from Grace (Melb) and cousin bought me the picture in the background that was customise and made by this old man who has a stall at one of the Turkish Theme stores.


Its Grace's handmade buns! - Bao bao.


Some photos at the tulip farm - gorgeous flowers... enjoyed with Cousin, Cindy, Joel, Grace (melb), Quen, and Angela


Grace even brought company! One from her many collections.


There is a forbidden mansion at the end of the farm. So we just took photos of it from the "fence" - barb wires is more like it.


There were horse carriage rides too... but we forgot to take a ride as we were busy taking photos of flowers and eating the good food there. =p

Few nights later, Alex brought me to "Three Amigos" and had mexican food. They made beautiful tacos!

Won't have it this yr any other way. *hugs to all*

1st Halloween "sweets" gving

Today is Happy Halloween Day! So Happy Halloween to everyone. Rich told me today that kids are coming over for lollies and I was excited! Its the closest thing to experiencing Halloween for me. I've always liked the idea that kids dress up and walk around door to door asking for lollies and getting excited. I only see events like this is in the movies or on tv!

When they finally come over our door, they are sooooo cute! and sooooo excited! They ask for lollies but as rich finished all the lollies in the house, he offered them rice cracker biscuit,the "bin bin" brand ones if anyone knows which one i'm talking about. The one with the green scarecrow? nevermind. One boy talked on the top of his voice saying:" I've eaten one of these before!! I've eaten one of these before" and another one went"me! me!" when asked who hasn't received one yet. The tallest girl went like "awww the doggies are sooo cute!", "oh, I like moby" when she saw the doggies in the house and rich told moby to get into the house.

Soooooo Cute! I was sick in bed but saw/heard this from the window/glass doors of the bedroom facing the front door. Rich then told me that some parents played dress up too. Sooo nice. They were really polite and well behaved too!

*beams* little things brighten up my day.
